The main focus of this channel has always been to help people enjoy their RC hobby more. Although we’ve been focusing on reviews to help people, the basics still need to be addressed too. So, Greg pushed aside the new products for a good Ol’ Fix My RC video about a problem he’s been seeing people have. RC Car Shake! Is your RC car shaking when you drive it? Do you want to fix it or even know if it’s a problem? In this video Greg will go through different scenarios as fixes for this issue.

Good series Greg and thank you for sharing. Any troubleshooting help always appreciated.

@bustedaw11 Жыл бұрын

Lovely video with good info! Being unbalanced can also be harder on the wheel bearings. As you stated close enough is plenty good , but I've seen some be extremely unbalanced to the point you could visibly see them shaking at higher speeds- not good. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work 👍

I made a tire balancer with spare 2wd Traxxas spindles, and a couple random plastic bits....clean the grease out of some new bearings, and add a couple drops of marvel mystery oil. Another tip when balancing, put a line on the balancer and the back of the wheel. A visual reference helps. Cleaning rubber/ wheel with Simple green seems to help tire glue stick better(not sure why, but I've always had good luck with it)

@V8chump Жыл бұрын

A lot of people don’t understand how much venting a tire helps… on fast cars with big tires that expand like the e revo or a Kraton you NEED to vent the tire. Reduces the pizza cutter effect, which gives better handling and takes tons of stress off your glue job. Venting also helps balance the tire a TON, putting your tire under a vacuum creates some wild shaking. Plus water WILL get in even if you seal the rim and don’t vent the tire… trust me… your glue isn’t a perfect seal when those tires balloon

I have found that more often than not, any rubber tires I purchase and/or mount on new wheels for my touring cars are unbalanced. It’s frustrating actually. I have found pre-mounted foams are the best option. Smooth and no vibrating

Something simple & ppl do miss , me being one of them . Get water in them , throw them out OR boil them off if tread is worthy of big messy & time consuming effort but its worth it. No venting tires since its always alphalt , here. No tape either , tiny q tip dab of whats always @ hand , 3M 5200 Marine sealant which will set up overnight .

Which wheel n tire is best for xmaxx 8s bashing? Vented or not vented?

@V8chump Жыл бұрын

Vented tire, sealed rim, always (unless belted). You’ll immediately notice it handles better at speed and shakes less if you hold it off the ground and give it throttle. Much less ballooning which also means your glue will last longer and the odds of a blowout will be lower. Just make sure not to put a hole on the seam you see on the tire, put it slightly to the left or right 😁🤜🏼🤛🏼

@DutchRCPlayground Жыл бұрын

Try venting them. Of you didnt run throuh water, sand will come out. Unlesd you ran trough sand and water then it is soaked in your inserts. In that case it will be very difficult to take out.

@V8chump Жыл бұрын

Oooooh man! Next time seal the rim and vent the tire first. the sand (or water) will never have a chance to get inside, it’ll get flung out at 10k RPM😁🤜🏼🤛🏼

I've found almost all rtr & pre-mounted tyres & wheels are terribly out of balance...I bin them! ECX produce excellent pre-mounts that require little to no balancing. You are better off building the tyres & wheels yourself...& venting the tyres.

I have boiled my rc tires. It takes 30 minutes on each side but the glue melts off and the bead is free.

@markoftheus Жыл бұрын

One thing to watch out for when using acetone is any chrome coating on your wheels. From my own experience, acetone breaks down the chrome coating, causing it to flake off.

Balance the tires

@bigmanrctoys8484 Жыл бұрын

I see a lot of people drilling holes in their tires when all they have to is put electrical tape over the vent holes on the wheels to prevent water/dirt buildup inside. 🙄🤦‍♂️

@V8chump Жыл бұрын

Venting the tire helps balance the wheel a TON compared to making it a complete vacuum, drastically reduces the “pizza cutter” effect too which means they handle MUCH better at speeds and won’t blow off the rim as easily. Also, dirt and water will still get inside if you’re using a fast car where the tire balloons. The tire will suck water and dirt through the tiny gaps in the glue that open up when the tire expands….. long story short if you’re going fast, vent the tires, seal the wheel. Everything will last much longer, even your A arms and bearings
